Look we just wanted cute pics of us feeding Mickey and Minnie cheese and crackers (mouse food lol) and it was worth our money. We don’t get why people are mad about it. No the cheese and crackers weren’t available to guests, why would that matter

I didn’t know you could forgo catering with an official Disney Wedding. I thought it was just part of the obscenely expensive package.

Soylent Pudding posted:Stolen from the r/relationships thread: Not BWM content, but I went to read some comments on the OP, and read a tangent about how it is normal at Swedish events to only feed guests if there was an explicit dinner invite as well. Someone posted this, and I am a child, but it made me laugh: quote:As a Swede, I grew up in circles that liberally used the phrase "finns det hjärterum finns det sjärterum" (lit "if there is heart room there is butt room", which means you make room for those you love). Very sweet sentiment, but also ha ha you said butt.

Gosh I wonder where those rumours came from.

I mean, if you want to roast a hog and have a keg at a wedding it's extremely doable. I went to one about 10 years back that was held on a farm an hour outside a city with exactly that: a southern pig pickin' and a shitton of kegs. Nice wedding, great reception, amazing post-reception party. edit: food/beer was all provided by the bride's family, venue was paid for by the bride & groom. Hog was cooked by the groom's college buddies / best men.

Dinner pizza -> desserts -> leftover inventory from dinner pizzas becomes late night pizzas. 1000x better than spending near $3k to hang out with a mouse costume for 30 min.

I went to one in north yorkshire in the 1980s just like this, barn dance themed and there was deer on a spit and a drunk uncle just collapsed by his own keg to a bad Elvis impersonator while the bride screamed with laughter and got lots of photos.

Wedding FOOD chat is a welcome change. Literally just attended a wedding yesterday and the food situation was: +generic bar, but was open +a gigantic counter loaded with meats/cheeses/crackers/fruits in a charcuterie buffet +a bunch of donuts and donut holes instead of a wedding cake Simple, yet up there with the most enjoyable wedding spread I’ve ever enjoyed

Some friends of mine had cupcakes instead of a wedding cake (I think they had a small one for ceremony). I thought that was pretty slick, honestly.

We doing wedding self posts now? BWM Thread Summer break! We did "stations" at our wedding. I can honestly say that was a much better option quality wise than pretty much any sit down dinner I've had at a wedding. We also did donuts at the end of the night from our favorite Philly donut place. To this day I refuse to tally up all of the receipts. Even if I tried I'm pretty sure my wife hid some from me. Edit: most insane wedding food thing I saw was a wedding in northern/central jersey that had an absolutely insane spread for pre-dinner apps. We’re talking multiple towering meat/cheese spreads, chocolate fountain, etc. Just bonkers levels of food. Wedding dinner itself was mediocre however. And being a jersey wedding, the ceremony, reception, and suggested hotels were each like an hour apart. Residency Evil fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Jun 5, 2022 |

I recently went to a wedding where the catering was provided by a company that towed an entire pizza oven to the venue on its own trailer and made super fresh pizzas right there for everyone. We even were encouraged to take home leftovers. Absolutely top-tier wedding food.

My wife and I had a brunch buffet at a nice restaurant for our reception, except we totally messed up and got too much food. We bought food for 60 guests, but didn't take into account that a full 20 of that 60 were little kids and they wouldn't eat nearly as much as an adult would. Even after we sent people home with as many leftovers as they'd take, my wife and I still had enough food where we didn't have to cook for the next two or three days. A little bad with money, but pretty good with the guests! It was a while before I could even look at French toast again, though.

This guy heads a VC investment firm and a career counseling service that costs several thousand dollars to get inside advice like: https://twitter.com/SahilBloom/status/1533492488404606977 https://twitter.com/SahilBloom/status/1533492499754491904 https://twitter.com/SahilBloom/status/1533492502489190401 https://twitter.com/SahilBloom/status/1533492503424507909 Even if you weren't paying him thousands of dollars to dispense information like this, lol at the idea that 10 people would invite you in to their house, spend an hour talking to you, and be excited to give you their contact information for follow-up calls from you.

The best part is that, while you might get the first interview while the coffee's still warm, you're absolutely going to have cold coffee for anything after that.

The mailman 2. People trying to sell complete bullshit if not outright scams If anyone rings my doorbell and the first words out of their mouth aren't something like "Hey so I live across the street..." they just get an immediate "I'm not interested" and I close the door in their face. They just shrug and immediately move on because they know they will find someone who will listen to their sucker pitch quicker, and they are glad to not have wasted their time with someone who was never going to go for it. Now that I think about it, I should tell them "Ooh, interesting, can you hold on for a minute?" and then close the door. Elysium fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Jun 6, 2022 |

I think he's got a case of money-brain, because when I think "nice-ish neighborhood", I'm assuming the residents are office workers, successful tradesmen, retirees. He's not implying that you should get in good with the local plumber, though, because in his mind a "nice-ish neighborhood" is occupied by people who only own businesses worth single-digit millions, but might be impressed with your firm handshake.

With 10 disposable cups / 10 interviews in the day, are you supposed to offer some coffee to whomever you're talking to and not have any yourself? Are you supposed to steal a whole thing of creamer from the coffee shop or buy your own container? Or are you expected to have packets of lovely powder creamer? Do you bring a vaccine card / recent negative test with you to your meetings? Important questions I need answered!
